The recent enhancements of particle fluxes at Voyager-1 are most likely connected with the closeness of the termination shock (TS). Near the TS, the topology of the magnetic field lines and their connection to the TS may be of primary importance. One can expect the field lines to intersect the TS more than once. Multiple intersection may occur due to a variety of reasons. We consider a model assuming that V-1 was still in inside the TS, but on a field line that has already intersected the TS between V-1 and the Sun. We find that this scenario may result in phenomena similar to those observed by Voyager-1 in 2002-2003: enhanced low-energy fluxes and large, anti-sunward, field-aligned anisotropies may arise in a natural way. The likeliness of the proposed scenario is discussed.
